  2. In this locality there was one hedge school. It was situated not far from where the present school now stands. A teacher from another locality taught the children. His name was Mr. Crowely. The children paid him for them. No Irish was taught in it. The children had no lead pencils or pens but instead they had slates and slate pencils. This school was there about 70 years ago.
